How do you feel about [microsuede](http://www.menswearhouse.com/menswear/detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395563275&FOLDER%3C%3EbrowsePath=1408474395563275&bmUID=1200668821626)? It’s more casual and has an interesting texture. ---

[QUOTE=Cluricaun] Oh, and RobotArm? That shirt kicks ass. [/QUOTE] Thanks, but short sleeves with cufflinks? I think I’m sticking with the original plan for now, in part because it’s too late to get anything else and have it altered. I got a very nice shirt and cufflinks last night; if nothing else, it’s a start toward a more conventionally proper wardrobe. And I’m stubborn (I still want those shoes, dammit.). If I can get some pictures, I’ll post them and the local fashionistas can mock me. And I’m kinda hoping to have a thread that gets to two pages.
